I have been using Plink for Smash Notes and it's been very helpful. One link to rule them all, it enables me to share a podcast and let the users decide their weapon of choice, instead of sending all Android or Overcast users to iTunes all the time. As the podcast wars heat up, and Spotify at el battle Apple, this is going to be more and more relevant. Plink does a beautiful job and I definitely recommend it. Here, take a look how simple it is! https://plnk.to/smashnotes

@kirillzubovsky your feedback throughout has meant so much, Kirill, thank you! Sending users to the right place for their device and operating system is so important. That UX of Android users hands often being forced into clicking an Apple link is frustrating for sure. Happy to help solve this with Plink :-) Congrats on recent Smash Notes launch here, too. I've been loving listening to the show. Your roundups are nice, keep it up and Plink that custom link ;-)

@scottmathson ;) btw, I have not launched SmashNotes.com here yet. There are a bunch of things I'd like to do before turning on the firehose of the fabulous Product Hunt users. Soon though, soon!

@kirillzubovsky woah 🤔for some reason thought I remembered upvoting here haha must be confusing with Indie Hackers ( it's been a long morning :-) ). Makes sense, I was in a similar mindset, fine-tuning some dials. Nonetheless, what you're sharing there is fantastic, honestly. Being fellow podcaster, and like we talked about, will claim Makerviews on-site.

Hey PH! Meet Plink. I've created this service with the goal of solving pain-points that podcast creators have. I developed and launched this months ago now (check out milestones on Indie Hackers: https://indiehackers.com/product...), yet am so stoked to finally share on PH! Plink helps podcasters spend less time link-collecting when marketing their shows and helps them gain more time for actually podcasting! With that, every single podcast in existence now has a free Plink smart link. Anyone can choose to buy a custom short, branded link (https://plnk.to/yo - you rock @robhope), too. Custom link customers get other benefits like whitelabel/"powered by plink" removal, ability to add iTunes affiliate ID for more income, and other customization options. Plink supports 10 major podcast apps - Apple and Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Overcast, Breaker, Castbox, and more. Confidently share Plink links across any social platform, in Slack, email - anywhere. One smart link - send every listener to the right place, no matter device, OS, or pod app preferences. This is v. 1.0 so not everything I'll eventually have in the product is here yet. But I'm stoked about the adoption of Plink, so many loyal customers and those who continue to champion this smart linking service. Thank you all so much, honestly! I'm constantly brainstorming new ideas, speaking with customers and listening to their feedback and insights, and currently have some exciting things in-development. What's your feedback on Plink? Want a custom, short link (ex: https://plnk.to/thenw)? Head over to the website @ https://plinkhq.com/ with code PHunt15 for a limited PH discount today! :-)
